BACKGROUND Abacus Engineered Systems was selected out of a competitive interview process to perform the design services associated with the Standby Power Upgrade project. Other fIrms solicited for proposals included HDR Engineering, Gray & Osborne, and Casne Engineering. Of the four fIrms, two fIrms, Casne and Gray & Osborne did not respond. The other two, Abacus and HDR, scheduled on-site tours of our facilities in order to gather information for their respective proposals. During the proposal development stage, HDR informed us that due to their current workload, they would not be able to complete and submit a formal proposal. This left Abacus as the only fIrm to submit a proposal and their qualifIcations. Abacus previously conducted work for the City on the standby power project for the E.O.C. Generator, a project that went very well. Their performance during that project clearly demonstrated an ability to bring an intelligent and innovative approach to the table. This has given us the confIdence that they will again help us achieve a successful conclusion to a standby power project. ANALYSIS At the moment, our Fire Stations, City Hall, and the 6300 Building do not have adequate standby power resources. This project seeks to bring these facilities up to a condition where they could function for brief periods of time when standby power is required. Allowing these facilities to remain fully functional, when standby power is required, is a fundamental part of enabling the City to function in a safe and efficient manner. The proposed amount for Abacus to provide design services is $50,485.00. Attached is the Consultant Agreement for Services document, as well as their scope and fee located in Exhibit A and B respectively. This project is funded from the 303 Fund, Facilities.

Presentations: A. iSiqnaFM Flashinq Bus Stop Beacon by Dale Cumminqs from Kino County Metro King County Metro will be installing 13 solarpowered beacons/Carmanah iSignals ™ at existing flag posts along Route 150 as part of the bus zone improvements project. Also, three new bus shelters and solar lighting are planned at some existing bus shelters. The locations for the iSignals were selected by driving Route 150 at night. A maintenance vehicle will be used to install the posts so as not to block an active lane of travel or sidewalk. The iSignal includes a blinking LED light that allows bus passengers to notify the oncoming bus that they are waiting for the bus in the evening. Two years ago, Pierce Transit installed 200 of these units which resulted in high satisfaction among bus drivers and customers. Last year, Metro received approximately 1,000 complaints of missed boardings. Pam suggested to inch.lde Metro's phone number on the posts to allow riders to call if they need information. Concern wks raised regarding the bus stop at Fort Dent (located next to a ditch). It was noted that the City is planning to widen Interurban Ave. and put in curbing and a sidew91k in 2QO~.J::1ut interim measures will be explored to improve safety at this bus stop. Information Only. Business Aqenda ~ A. Tukwila Urban Center Access Proiect (Klickitat) Consultant Aqreement for LID Special Benefit Study and Riqht-of-Wav Acquisition Assistance Last fall, the City of Tukwila contracted with Macaulay & Associates to determine the feasibility of an LID (Local Improvement District) for Klickitat. The next step will provide an approximate amount on how much each parcel would be assessed in the LID - approximately 300 parcels. Full assessments will not be done on each parcel but rather a sampling. The final assessment will be determined upon completion of the project. The proximity of the parcel will be assessed a higher assessment than those parcels further away from the project. Also, the term of the LID would affect the assessment (e.g., if the LID was 10, 15, or 20 years). All costs incurred by the City that are associated with the LID can be folded into the LID assessments. It was noted that rights-of-way would also need to be acquired. HNTB, the City's lead consultant on the project, has retained a firm to assist in the acquisition since they are unable to negotiate both a purchase price and conduct a fair market assessment; this would be a conflict of interest. This contract also includes $9,000 for three separate summary appraisals. Pam suggested that a "101 class" in the formation of LIDs be offered at an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting. Unanimous approval, forward to COW. B. Standby Power UpQrades Project Consultant Aqreement (Fire Stations. City Hall, and 6300 8uildin~) Abacus Engineered Systems was selected to perform a feasibility and priority report for the Standby Power Upgrade Project. In the event of an emergency, the fire stations, City Hall, and the 6300 Building do not have adequate standby power (up to 72 hours). Portable generators are available at some sites to only open up bay doors at the fire stations. Joan asked about capability at the Minkler shops and was told that we just purchased the Teamster's generator for Minkler.
